After a few doozies of bad hair experiences, I decided to try to find a salon closer to my home…read more While scrolling through Instagram I found Taylor and noticed that her color palette was right in line with my "California blonde" hopes and so I messaged her. Taylor was so friendly and kind and got back to me right away with some questions about what I was looking for. I felt like she was really competent and capable and after sleuthing deeper into her gallery of work I felt like she was going to be exactly what I was looking for. On the day of my appointment I found parking right outside the salon on the street which was great because Penngrove doesn't have a whole lot of parking. Taylor was super sweet and we talked a bit about my vision for my hair and she got right to work. I loved her attention to detail and she really listened to my concerns about what had happened in the past that I didn't like at other places. I'm happy to report that not only did she give me the exact thing I asked for, she even took it up another level. I loved the way my hair turned out and I really enjoyed getting to know Taylor- she is just an incredibly talented young lady with a real knack for this art. I will definitely be returning to Svelte Salon to see Taylor!

Reached in to Oak and Ivy last minute as I'm in from out of town for a root color touch up…read more(#ShesOld). Even before I talk about the color I want to lift up that a) they use tech really well (I'm on Zoom calls from one end of the day to the other so picking up the phone and calling someone is super difficult for me most days). They responded to my inquiry through Yelp immediately, forwarded my request on to their stylists, and I had an appointment set up within a half hour max. Ended up with Stephanie and she was wonderful! While she was putting the color in I noticed she didn't apply any protective gel or vaseline ahead of time to protect my skin from the dye. I just figured, "Well, I'm not going to see anyone today, if I'm walking around with a dye headband, it's fine." Well, she didn't NEED to put anything on my skin to protect it because she's that good at what she does! The color came out great -- very natural and healthy looking, and really shiny. And not one drop of dye anywhere except for on the roots where it belonged. On top of all this, Stephanie was super nice, as was everyone who worked there. Loved the ambience, too -- the music was sort of 70s classic rock as was the decor. I'm hoping to be out in this area again in the coming year, and definitely plan to go back to them! Thanks, Stephanie!

Having had issues in the past with how dark my hair was, Faith tackled it like it was nothing! I was looking for silver blonde to contrast nicely with my dark hair and she DELIVERED!!! It gives the granny vibes I've always wanted! Its now been a few months since my appointment and my hair is growing out so nicely, I will never go to anyone else. Faith was so cool and down-to-earth. Her energy was so welcoming and I was able to read my book while she did my hair to perfection. Definitely reccomend her!!

After moving to Petaluma, finding a new hair stylist was something I had been seriously dreading…read more I'd been seeing the same stylist in San Diego for years, so the idea of trusting someone new with my blonde was not a casual decision. I booked with Amethyst after seeing her work and feeling like she'd be the right fit for blonding, and wow, she DELIVERED! She is incredibly talented, thoughtful, and thorough, and my partial highlights came out even better than I imagined. She also made the whole appointment feel relaxing and special, even including a head and neck massage, which was such an appreciated touch. On top of that, she is so warm, kind, and easy to talk to. She really makes sure you feel comfortable throughout the whole experience. I'm so happy I found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a stylist they can trust!!

I've been coming to this salon for almost 10 years, and they do great work--which is why this…read moreexperience was so disappointing. I called on Tuesday to book a color appointment and was told the colorist was on vacation, with Friday or Saturday as the next available options. Friday didn't work for me, but I was told Saturday would also be available. I also would've been willing to change my Friday plans to make this all work out. I called back Friday afternoon to follow up and lock in a Saturday morning appointment, based on what I had been told earlier in the week. Instead, I was told they couldn't accommodate me due to the Butter & Eggs Festival. I also received feedback that calling at 3pm when they close at 6pm wasn't enough time, which didn't make sense given that I wasn't asking for a same-day appointment--I was continuing a conversation to schedule ahead. What made this more frustrating was that I was trying to work within the availability they had already given me, but the expectations kept changing. While they did offer Sunday and recommended other salons (which I appreciate), that wasn't the point--I was trying to book within the options they initially provided. After this, I actually called again because I had rearranged my schedule for Sunday, hoping to still make it work. At that point, I was told Monday was the only option available. Unfortunately, that no longer worked for me due to work and moving to another city. I also spoke with the manager. While she was apologetic, it didn't feel like there was much effort to actually find a solution. She offered a new stylist that probably wouldn't be comfortable doing highlight but invited me for a Sunday appointment consultation to get me in. She acknowledged that scheduling and communication have been ongoing challenges there, which I appreciated the honesty around--but as a long-time client, that was also difficult to hear. This appointment was meaningful to me. It was intended to be my last visit before moving, and this is a salon I've trusted for so many important moments--engagement photos, weddings, graduations, and even just times I needed to feel like myself again. That's why it's especially disappointing to be ending on this note. I've always tried to be flexible and understanding over the years, but this experience felt like a continuation of inconsistent communication and shifting expectations, without much effort to meet me halfway. I understand that events and staffing can affect availability, but clearer communication and follow-through--especially with long-time clients--would go a long way. I'm genuinely upset.

I WAS a client for 10 years, but not anymore. Eden raised her price $135. I'm guessing this is…read morethe salon's practice. She's not that good to raise her price from $130 to $265 out of the blue. I definitely don't recommend going there. I think they're trying to justify their salon improvements and sticking their clients with the cost. Most of the stations are empty, that must tell you their level of expertise and service.

I'm really surprised I haven't done a review for Sassee yet. I've been going here to see Tara for…read moremany years now. I go here specifically for Tara, she's amazing and does a great job dying my ginger hair any color I want from brown to pink. If you don't know dying or bleaching red hair can be a real nightmare and I've had many stylists mess it up or charge me hundreds for no change at all. Tara always gets my hair the exact color and style I ask for and is always honest with me about the process. The salon is quite lovely. Has a very boutique vibe. They have a little snack, bar and drink bar for everyone. Everyone who rents a spot or works there seems very friendly and professional. There's usually always parking right in front or across the street. It is downtown Cotati, though, so depending on events, the parking can be a little rough, but I've never had an issue.
